SLS Bio12 Cell Transport HH

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
active transport   movement of molecules from low to high concentrations requiring ATP  
🗑
carrier protein   move molecules such as ions and other proteins across a biological membrane; can bond and drag through the membrane and release on the other side  
🗑
cell membrane   surrounds the cytoplasm of the cell; regulates the transport of molecules in and out the cell; very flexible  
🗑
channel protein   embedded in the cell membrane and a have a pore for materials to cross  
🗑
concentration gradient   molecules moving from a high concentration area to a low concentration area  
🗑
diffusion   the intermingling of a substance by the natural movement of their particles  
🗑
endocytosis   moving materials into the cell through pinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis creating a vacuole  
🗑
exocytosis   moving materials out of the cell by fusing the vesicles to the plasma memebrane  
🗑
facilitated transport   using transport proteins to move high to low concentration  
🗑
fluid mosaic membrane model   model that represents the cell; fluid is the phospholipid bilayer and the mosaic is the proteins  
🗑
glycolipid   lipid with a carbohydrate attached; communicative role, often acting as markers for cellular recognition  
🗑
glycoprotein   protein with a carbohydrate attached; crucial part in cell-cell recognition, and have important roles in protection and the immune response, reproduction, structural integrity and cell adhesion  
🗑
hydrophilic   water loving  
🗑
hydrophobic   water fearing  
🗑
hypertonic   water moves out of the cell; crenation  
🗑
hypotonic   water moves into the cell; lysis  
🗑
isotonic   no net movement; dynamic equilibrium  
🗑
osmosis   diffusion of water  
🗑
passive transport processes   no energy is required to make the molecule move  
🗑
phagocytosis   engulfs large particles such as food, bacteria into vesicles; "cell eating"  
🗑
phospholipid   make up the cell membrane; two fatty acids that are non polar and the head is polar containing a phosphate group and glycerol  
🗑
phospholipid bilayer   the composition of the cell membrane; semipermeable membrane  
🗑
pinocytosis   takes in dissolved molecules as a vesicle; "cell drinking"  
🗑
pressure gradient   moving from higher pressure to lower pressure  
🗑
selectively permeable   chooses what can move through and what can't  
🗑
tonicity   tonicity is the relative concentration of solutions that determine the direction and extent of diffusion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
